Solidarity between Associations and partners
AEFC Association d'Entraide des Français du Cambodge is a french association , which is acting to help and support French Community in Cambodia providing a vast support, in all kind of problems or situations, they are also helping NGO’s which have lost donors because of the Covid 19.
L’aefc is receiving a lot of food from Kiwimart Cambodia to be distributed to the French communities in trouble and also too different NGO’s who are working with the most vulnerable communities of Phnom Penh.
Those groceries have been distributed on a regular basis to the most vulnerable communities in different slums.
The huge amount of supplies gave us the opportunity to support our NGOS partner’s such as Little Heart, Genesis of Transformation, Light Of Mercy.
Because of the sanitary crisis (Covid 19) some people lost their job or loose a part of their salary, so without L'aefc and Kiwi Mart it will be more difficult for them and for us to support them.
The donation is so welcome and give them the chance to help the communities with their food support, so that families can still eat and keep their usual good spirit.
Because of Covid 19 situation is very hard for all of us to continue, nor for French communities neither for foreigners. Regarding all NGO’s in general, participation is less that it was used to be, so it makes to situation even worth.
For the last distribution of food, we were very happy to have with us Mr Bruno Bogvad correspond to L’aefc, like this he manage to have a correct picture of how we are using the donation and how it’s like in the life of the disadvantage communities.
Bruno was very surprise and happy to see families receiving us with big smiles. We were able to manage spending quality time with the kids of Boeung Trabek, they all spoke to us a lot on different subjects such as life, school. They were very proud to make us discover their environment. They were excited about this visit, and try their best to keep us as long as they could.
Thank you so much to L’aefc and kiwimart-Cambodia for your support and for your good heart since the sanitary crisis begins.
One Spirit, One Heart, One Community
